She is the authentic real deal, a true, gods honest Kentucky girl. Not only is she loved, she is admired in the blue grass state. Ashley appeals to a large swath of the Commonwealth and even though Mitch McConnell will use his dirty, ugly tactics to try and diminish her, it will only hurt his party.

One does not throw mud at a lady, wearing a derby hat while she is standing in the blue grass. It's unbecoming.
